Reviews
I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. From check-in to being escorted to my ride, the entire experience was smooth. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. I was seen on time and Dr. Akerman had excellent bedside manner. I will be scheduling my mother to see him soon!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Akerman’s office- from scheduling/giving me instructions, check in…and then, the nurse who put in my IV, the anesthesiologist and Dr. Akerman, and the nurse who dismissed me. It was my first procedure and I was nervous but, they quickly made me feel at ease and telling me what to expect. I was extremely happy with the entire event and would highly recommend them.
They are great.the whole experience was great.
Dr. Ackerman and Team are true Professional. They make You feel at ease and as if You are the only One present. They explain what is and what to expect doing Your time with Them. Top Notch Team.
PA Meagan and Dr. Akerman helped me get to the bottom of my chronic constipation issue- they provided samples while I figured out which medication worked best for me (Trulance).
